background and aim: academic achievement, especially in hard-of-hearing students, is hinged on their writing skills, and writing skill deficiency can adversely affect their cross-disciplinary skills. the purpose of this study was to explore and delineate the writing skill curriculum for hearing-impaired students in primary school system of iran and to develop an exploratory model. methods: in t...

With the increasing availability of observational data from different sources at a global level, joint analysis of these data is becoming especially attractive. For such an analysis – oftentimes with little prior knowledge about local and global interactions between the different observational variables at hand – an exploratory, data-driven analysis of the data may be of particular relevance. I...

Quantitative methods to measure the participation to parliamentary debate and discourse of elected Members of Parliament (MPs) and the parties they belong to are lacking. This is an exploratory study in which we propose the development of a new approach for a quantitative analysis of such participation. We utilize the New Zealand government’s digital Hansard database to construct a topic model ...

Mining itemsets that are the most interesting under a statistical model of the underlying data is a commonly used and well-studied technique for exploratory data analysis, with the most recent interestingness models exhibiting state of the art performance. Continuing this highly promising line of work, we propose the first, to the best of our knowledge, generative model over itemsets, in the fo...

We are investigating a new, rational framework for exploratory learning. We are applying it to model the exploratory learning of simple interactive devices — such as boxes with buttons and lights, or domestic central heating timers (Cox & Young, 2000) — although we would like to think that our framework is of considerably greater generality. (To some extent, exploration lies in the eye of the b...

Users’ exploratory usage of enterprise systems plays a critical role in determining the extent to which an adopting organization can materialize the purported benefits of the system. As such, examining the antecedents of exploratory usage of ES is of great interest to researchers. In this study, we intend to explore how different components of intrinsic motivation (i.e., intrinsic hedonic and n...

in recent decades, since increasing the competition betweenorganizations for developing products and services, creating anddeveloping modern technologies has been strongly growing. in suchcircumstances, the main challenge of organizations is development oracquisition of the right technology in respect of the organizational goals.thus, this study intends to present a scale for evaluating communi...

In this paper, we propose a framework based on a sub-symbolic approach for the support of exploratory activities (e.g. learning, training and education) in a hyperspace. By using our framework, it is possible to extract the knowledge on the semantic features of the whole hyperspace and the states of exploratory activities and structure in topological order. This approach is applied to generate ...

In an original directed diffusion routing protocol, a sink requests sensing data from a source node by flooding interest messages to the network. Then, the source finds the sink by sending exploratory data messages to all nodes that generate incoming interest messages. This protocol signaling can cause heavy traffic in the network, an interference of the radio signal, collisions, great energy c...

the aim of this article is to investigate the structural relationship between social influence, motivation and facilitating conditions with the use behaviour of teleworking technology, considering the moderating effect of behavioural intention to utilize teleworking. the research is done according to descriptive method with correlational type. statistical population is public organizations and ...
